Happy Christmas!

Wishing you all a very merry holiday and a prosperous new year. Here's to new projects in 2011 and thank you so much to all of you who read my little blog!!!

Puppy Party!

This weekend we celebrated my daughter Michaela's 4th Birthday. Yea, I can't believe she's 4 either! Michaela is totally in love with puppy dogs and I thought it would be cute to incorporate that into her birthday party.

I had a lot of inspiration from the blog world and I'm totally grateful for that! I can definitely execute the ideas, but sometimes I need a little help now and then.

Thanks to all of our friends and family who made it despite the rain. I wanted to share with you the fruits of our labor and show you why Michaela calls me the best mom ever :).  Love you KK!!!
